Appiication med May s. 191s. serial No. 233,313.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that PHILIP I. GLOBERMAN, a citizen of the United States,'and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Garment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to wearing apparel, and its object is'to provide a new and improved garmentarranged to combine a coat, trousers, and com'ertible collar and hood. Another object is to provide a garment which can be readily donned or taken off. Al'lother object is to entirely dispenseI with suspenders, belt or other supporting devices and to give the wearer the desired comfort.

lith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the garment with the parts in closed position;

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same;

Fig. 3 is a similar view of the garment with the parts opened up and extended;

Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the garment with the coat open and the trousers partly open;

Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the garment with the collar converted into a hood; and

Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the same.

The garment combines a coat 10, trousers 11 and a convertible collar and hood 12. The coat 10 is open along the median line of the front and is thus provided with front flaps l13 and 14 adapted to overlap one the other and to be fastened together by suitable fastening devices 15, such as buttons and buttonholes and the like. Thertrousers 11 are provided with a waistband 16 fastened by stitches 17 to the inner side of the coat 10 along the Waist line thereof with the stitches 17 tern'iinating. at the overlapping flaps 13 and 14 of the coat 10, as will be readily understood by reference to the drawings. The trousers 11 are open at the front median line thus forming overlapping flaps 20 and 21 adapted to be fastened together by the usual fastening devices 22 such as buttons and buttonholes. It will be noticed that by the arrangement described the trousers 11 form a permanent part of the coat 10 and the latter as well as the trousers can be readily opened up at the front for donning purposes or for taking off the garment whenever it is desired to do so.

The back of the trousers 11 is provided with a sanitary flap 25 with the opening thereof below the waistband 16, as plainly indicated in Fig. 3. The sanitary flap 25 is adapted to be fastened when in closed position to the trousers by suitable fastening devices 26 such as buttons and buttonholes or the like.V

The lower side portions of the coat 10 are provided with overlapping aps 30, 31 adapted to be fastened together by suitable fastening devices 32 such as snap fasteners, hooks and eyes, or the like. It will be noticed that when the flaps 30 and 31 are disconnected then the rear portion of the coat can be readily raised without unbuttonin the coat to gain access to the sanitary ap 25.

The convertible collar and hood 12 is preferably made of two pieces 40 and 41 fastened together by a diagonal seam 42 to permit of doubling up the material along the seam 42 with a View to provide a collar, as plainly indicated in Figs. 1, 2 and 4, and to allow of extending the material to form a hood, as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6. It Will be noticed that the convertible collar and hood 12 is open at the front to provide overlapping aps 45, 46 adapted to be fastened together by suitable fastening devices 47 such as snap fasteners or the like to close the hood at the front lower portion except at the face opening 50. It is understood that when the overlapping flaps 45 and 46 are unfastened the part 41 can be readily doubled up on the part 40 to form a collar which properly overlies the back and shoulder portions of the coat 10, as plainly indicated in Figs. l, 2 and 4.

By the arrangement described, three garments, that is, a coat, trousers and a convertible collar and hood are combined in one and the garment can be readily donned or taken off and Suspenders, belts and other supporting devices are entirely dispensed with as the coat is supported from the shoulders of the wearer and the trousers are supported from the coat.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent l. A garment, comprising a coat, trousers and convertible collar and hood, the coat being open along the front median line and having overlapping front flaps and overlapping side iaps having fastening devices, and the trousers being open at the front and having a sanitary flap at the back, the waistband of the trousers being permanently attached to the inner face of the coat except at the front of the coat and trousers, the said convertible collar and hood being made of two parts fastened together by a diagonal seam to allow of doubling up the parts for the formation of a collar or extending` the parts to form a hood, the front of the said convertible collar and the parts of the hood having their ends reduced and of the same size, and the ends of each adapted to overlap, and fastening devices for fastening the overlapping reduced ends together.

2. A coat or like garment which is normally closed at the front to the neck, provided with a convertible collar and hood, formed of two pieces of material secured together on a diagonal line, one of the pieces being secured to the garment about the neck opening thereof and extending to the vertical edges of the garment, the pieces having their ends reduced and 0f the same size with their edges oppositely inclined, and fastening devices for the reduced ends of each of the pieces, whereby when the pieces overlie one another they form a collar whose ends terminate at the front of the garment a short distance from each other, and when extended form a hood, the ends of both pieces of which overlap and the hood partakes of the shape of the head of the wearer' and is closed at the front except for a circular opening.
